I like the picture. Can you make it any larger?

You can.
Click on the pic, click on Edit, click on Resize, make it bigger, save it to your computer.
Or, save it to your own Photobucket account and do the same.

Nice! My first six gun. Still my favorite.
That is a great looking rig especially paired with the knife!

Yes, the venerable Security Six is a real gem. I bought one new in about 1979.
Here's a pic of it next to its big brother, Chief Redhawk, also in 357.

Beautiful guns guys. Both of you. I have to say I'm a little jealous. The only one I've been able to find up here ( I don't usually buy used guns sight unseen) was a little too steep, and the guy wouldn't deal. I sure do like the Six series revolvers.

I carry a blued 2 5/8 barreled one almost daily! I currently only own two S-S's!

I have two 6" Security Sixes. One SS and one blue. Both shoot well and are tough as nails. I also have a 357 Red Hawk.
Tough revolver and very accurate . I have killed two deer with it open sighted at 50 yards.

Those 357 Redhawks are very accurate, indeed. I'm fond of ringing steel plates at 100 yards with mine. I handload and only need a middle of the road 357 load (13.9 grs. H-110 with a 158 grain projectile) to still maintain a nearly flat trajectory at 100 yards with the 7.5" RH.........

Thanks for the compliment, Poco. I hope you are able to find the Security Six you'd like to buy, and at the right price for you............
I'm like you - I don't like to buy any used firearm sight unseen. I took a chancy exception with the 357 Redhawk. The one you see in my post, above, was purchased from GB about 4 months ago. There were a dozen or so photos on the GB listing, but I'd never before bought anything used that I couldn't touch and feel and assess.
Well, I popped on the 357 Redhawk since they are harder and harder to come by for the right price. I was lucky, to say the least. That revolver feels brand new even though it was born in Oct. 1984. Extremely tight lock-up, very crisp in cylinder close and smooth operation - better than any other revolver I have. Shoots better than me. None which I could assess before receiving the revolver. I still can't hardly believe it, to tell the truth.
So, for this one, I guess I was just plain lucky............and grateful............

I love my 1988 Service Six! She's a stainless .38. Believe it or not, I think the standard wood panels are the best grips of all for it.
I just aquired a security six with a 4 inch barrel, problem is, it is a sn 150 and i can find no grips for it. The Herrett grips that were on it are too big and cumbersome and im looking for something to fit my hand better. Does anyone know where i can find such a rare item? I would like to start using it for my carry weapon, but the grips make it look like the previous owner was trying to make it look like a Trooper mk III. too big and punishing for my hand
The factory wood grips with a Tyler T work for me.
